Whereas the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and
Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one
indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established:With the blessing of our Almighty God, we take for ourselves your ancestral lands.
With the blessing of Almighty God, we take for ourselves your bodies as our commodity,
and as possessions of the Queen.With the blessing of Almighty God, we wrench you from your Country and your kin.
You shall toil for us and your payment shall be your continued existence.Over your lands we shall scar state lines,
scramble your bloodlines and give you over to the custody of men.
Your children shall be taken from you and forced to renounce themselves.We gift to you our arbitrary common law,
which shall apply to you but not protect you.
We appoint ourselves your custodians,
but we owe you no duty of care,
and you shall have no compensation for any loss caused,
here no equity shall be done.These things are indissoluble.
Indissoluble.
Indissoluble.
This Commonwealth is indissoluble.
Our right to this land is indissoluble.
Our right to exploit you is indissoluble.
Our sovereignty is indissoluble.
Our authority is indissoluble.Be it therefore enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and
consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament
assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:This Constitution shall be binding on you, you shall submit, or hang yourself, or contract a
disease, or die of hunger, or we shall be forced to breed the blackness from your recessive
genes.The provisions of this Act shall extend to Her Majesty’s heirs and
their heirs; and
their heirs; and
their heirs; and
their heirs; and
their heirs; and
so on.The Commonwealth shall be established, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth shall
take effect, on and after the day so appointed. You shall accept this Act without question and
without complaint, and your heirs and their heirs; and their heirs; and so on, shall accept this
Act, without question and without complaint.This Act, and all laws made by the Parliament of the Commonwealth under the Constitution,
shall be binding on the courts, judges, and people, and what we deem the native flora and
fauna of every State, binding on every river we choose to pollute, on every gorge we choose
to extract, on every tree we fell, on every inch of Country we farm and pillage.You shall now speak the language of our great and Almighty God-blessed and indissoluble
Commonwealth – English. You shall cease to speak your own languages.You shall cease to practice your ceremonies practiced since time immoral.
All your lore is repealed and the right to make law over you now vests in the Parliament of
the Commonwealth. The Parliament shall be composed of members of our choosing, directly
chosen by ourselves. The power of the Commonwealth shall vest in us. We shall call this
democracy. We shall make laws that you cannot keep and appoint men to preside over you
who have no interest in your ways, your lore, your rights, your cultures, your Countries.Your many Countries shall take a new name Australia, and so too shall you, we shall call you
Aborigine.
